Team Functioning: The Why, What, How, and Who of a Team
Many people working in organisations try to avoid being part of a team. Perhaps the many levels of requirements for good teamwork place it in the "too-hard" basket. Yet there are many advantages accruing to both the organisation and the individual from successful teamwork, including greater efficiency, personal growth, improvement in communication skills, superior generation of ideas, and better support networks.
Effective teams rely on several aspects to define it, and determine how well the team will function to achieve its goals. Whether teams are conscious of these factors or not, they operate at some level to impact growth and success. In this article, we'll explore some of these factors, which include goals, roles, processes, and relational aspects of a team.
Goals: Why are we here?
At age 3, Anaru — whose parents are high-level managers in the health system — called his playmates together and, looking around the little assembled group, said, "Ok, we're all here now. What are we meeting about?" Unfortunately, it would appear that some workplace teams are little clearer on their purpose (and consequent goals) than Anaru was. What Anaru — much to his credit — did get was that people should have a reason for coming together when they do. A team's mission or purpose is why it exists. From that mission or purpose a vision is generated: a sense of "what we're trying to accomplish". With clarity on why the team exists and what it is trying to do, members can generate the "how" of their team: the strategies that will bring the vision into reality. Strategies work best when they are wrapped in both long-term goals (the priorities) and also the operating plans, tactics, and short-term objectives that guide day-to-day decisions (Acorn Consulting, 1999).
Roles: What are our roles and responsibilities?
The role aspect of team functioning is comprised of:
Gaps/overlaps
Interdependencies
Expectations of team leader and member roles
Responsibilities/commitments/accountabilities. Looking at the above list more closely, we can see that there is both individual and team responsibility and accountability. Teams, as noted, exist to produce results. Commitment to both the shared and individual goals required to achieve the results is critical. While there may be understanding of overall responsibility for and general commitment to shared goals, areas of individual responsibility can be unclear. All group members need to agree on what needs to be done, and by whom. But the discussion cannot end there. There must also be agreement on accountability and follow-through. How will accountability be manifested? How will follow-up be assessed (and by whom)? A question for the team is that of how team members are expected to check in with one another around the carrying-out of responsibilities. Is there a touch point for circling back to check in on progress toward the tasks? Some teams just assume that everyone has followed through. High-performing teams come to conscious agreement around how actions will be tracked, they put a consistent focus on accountability, and they are willing to help one another stay accountable for responsibilities undertaken.
Gaps/overlaps. Of course, division of work tasks does not always occur along tidy (clear) lines, and there are inevitable gaps and overlaps: tasks or relationships which — if the team is not careful — could slip through the cracks, and also overlaps, where more than one team member could logically fulfil a responsibility. How the team initially negotiates these, and how it moves to re-align assigned tasks when gaps and overlaps become apparent are functions of both its processes and its relationships (more on those in a moment). Suffice it to say here that the more a healthy climate of trust, respect, and support has been established, the more easily such corrections can happen. Similarly, the more effective the processes already in place, the more smoothly workable modifications can be made.
Interdependencies/skill sets. We can define team interdependency as any area where there is a need for communication, coordination, or collaboration. These can be identified as gaps and overlaps (as noted above), handoffs (where one person's output is an input to the second person's work), and places where information must be shared if the project would succeed. While the resulting need to coordinate activities and engage collaborative thinking between members may be challenging, there are equally great opportunities for leverage to better achieve team goals. Reviewing the various skills sets of team members in a climate of respect, adaptability, and appreciation of differences will help to re-clarify expectations of the various members and the team leader.
Expectations of team leader and member roles. Within a given project, there are functional roles (that is, areas of expertise and task responsibilities) and also roles to do with team structure (that is, whether one is a team leader or a member). Project management roles (usually more formal) revolve around planning and coordination, budget and resource management, tracking action items, and communication. Team maintenance roles (often less formal) are those of facilitator, social director, and those who monitor how the team is functioning overall (Acorn Consulting, 1999). We can get a better understanding of the roles needed within a team by looking at a schema for naming the primary roles that teams need.
Belbin team roles
Dr Meredith Belbin, defining a team role as "a tendency to behave, contribute, and interrelate with others in a particular way", has generated nine roles that he believes are essential for successful teams to have access to. He notes that people typically are comfortable with two or three of the roles and have a few others that they can manage to cover if they need to, but they prefer not to adopt the rest at all (Belbin, 2015). The nine team roles are detailed below.
Resource investigator: Inquisitive, outgoing, and enthusiastic, these individuals serve as reconnaissance personnel, using their explorative personalities to find ideas to bring back to the team. They develop contacts, which helps them find opportunities. The weakness of this role is that the person might be over-optimistic and often loses interest once the initial enthusiasm for a project or procedure has passed. Don't be surprised if the Resource investigator forgets to follow up on a lead.
Teamworker: Cooperative, perceptive, and diplomatic, Teamworkers use their adaptability to help the team gel, identify the work required, and complete it on behalf of the team. They are good listeners who avoid friction, but can be indecisive in tough situations, avoiding confrontation. They also hate making unpopular decisions.
Coordinator: The mature and confident Coordinator identifies talent on the team, clarifies goals, and draws out team members in order to focus on the team's objectives. While these individuals' strength is their ability to delegate work appropriately, they occasionally can be seen as manipulative, delegating to such an extent that they have little of their own work left to do.
Plant: Without a creative, imaginative, free-thinking Plant, teams are uninspired and can get stuck. The ability of the Plant to solve problems in unconventional ways generates ideas and helps the team solve difficult problems. With their minds on the larger picture of the problem, Plants may ignore incidentals, being absent-minded and forgetful. Often they are too preoccupied to communicate effectively.
Monitor evaluator: This role is the team's logical eye, making objective judgments where necessary and weighing up the team's options in a dispassionate way. Monitor evaluators are sober, discerning, and well able to think strategically. They see all options and assess accurately, but may be overly critical, slow to come to decisions, and unable to inspire fellow team members.
Specialist: Specialists bring in-depth knowledge of a key area to the team, which benefits from their single-minded, dedicated taking of initiative. The problem with specialist knowledge is that it tends to contribute on a narrow front; Specialists may inadvertently overload you with information, dwelling on technicalities that are irrelevant to you.
Shaper: The dynamic Shaper thrives on pressure, possessing the drive and courage to keep the team moving ahead, overcoming all obstacles without a loss of focus or momentum. If you are sensitive or easily offended, however, you may feel uneasy around the provocation-prone Shaper. In their attempts to get things done, such individuals may become aggressive or bad-humoured.
Implementer: Does your team need to plan a workable strategy and have it carried out with maximum efficiency? If so, you need the Implementer, whose practical, reliable, efficient approach turns ideas into actions and organises work. Good at planning, however, they may be loath to relinquish plans in favour of positive changes or new possibilities. Implementers should hang out with flexible team members and learn to adopt more of this trait.
Complete finisher: Every team needs to subject its work to (hopefully) high standards of quality control. The Complete finisher is the one for this work, polishing completed tasks and scrutinising the work for errors. Conscientious, painstaking, and sadly anxious, the Complete finisher worries excessively and delegates reluctantly. Perfectionists, they don't believe anyone else can do it as well as they do (Belbin, 2015).
Processes: How shall we do things?
If you ever entertained the illusion that running a team is a simple thing, think again. Teams must manage all of the following processes:
Systems (including but not limited to information technology systems)
Guidelines (not only group norms for acceptable behaviours between members, but also guidelines around the content of the work and to do with relating to the various stakeholders, including customers)
Coordinating work (i.e., communication loops) (Acorn Consulting, 1999)
Relationships: Who and how are we together?
Perhaps the most crucial factor in effective team functioning — the thread most intricately interwoven with all others in the fabric of team life — is that of how the members relate to one another. Yes, effective communication is a large part of any high-performing team. Yes, congruent verbal-non-verbal messages and active listening skills are an important part of an effective team's communication norms. And there is more.
Over and over again, expressed in myriad ways, team development consultants emphasise the trust and respect, openness, capacity for support, ability to give and receive feedback, and appreciation of differences that comprise the dynamics of well-functioning teams.
Trust and respect. As these two qualities go hand-in-hand, let us consider them together. For trust to be present, group members must communicate their opinions in a way that respects others, focusing on "What can we learn?" rather than "Who is to blame?" This approach touches on feedback, as that communication must be given respectfully to be of high quality (see point below). An attitude of trust and respect conveys, "I believe that you are basically competent to do what we have come together to do" and "I respect unconditionally your basic humanness" — which means that even when there is disagreement, it does not need to be "visceral". Differences can be negotiated respectfully, with allowance for differences.
Trust presumes that team members "have each other's back", that members have a sense that the team environment is safe enough to share the resources and information required to get the job done. What is the alternative? Hoarding resources, building "silos", and going around relevant others to get things done only heightens mistrust and obstructs progress, connoting a lack of respect for the avoided individuals and for the team in general. When trust and respect are fully operative, group members demonstrate personal accountability for responsibilities which they have undertaken.
Openness and self-disclosure. Similarly, team members must feel safe enough to share their ideas and feelings. In an open, accepting climate, people feel free to express their thoughts, opinions, and potential solutions to problems. They feel as if they are heard and listened to. Team members try to understand, asking questions for clarity and listening rather than forming rebuttals when others are speaking. A sense of mutual trust develops to the extent that members are willing to self-disclose, being honest yet respectful. Higher levels of self-disclosure engender higher levels of commitment, closeness, and belonging.
Capacity for support. Team members demonstrate support for one another as they achieve their goals. They exemplify a sense of team loyalty, cheering on the group, but also helping members who are having difficulties. Members view one another not as competitors, but as collaborators. Team members understand that a chain is as strong as its weakest link, and work to ensure that all links feel strong and well-supported. What are not supported are personality conflicts and clashes or members picking sides in a disagreement. Rather, the team has agreed procedures for diagnosing, analysing, and resolving teamwork problems, especially including relational problems.
Ability to give and receive feedback. On high-performing teams, members are able to give and receive feedback in timely, constructive ways, focusing on ideas and behaviours rather than individuals. They emphasise the positive and offer suggestions for improvement. Good feedback exchange requires an attitude of respect, good listening, a willingness to ask for clarification, and a nondefensive willingness to change. The team is able to continually examine itself, improving processes, practices, and the interaction of team members. Highly functional teams openly discuss team norms and what may be hindering their forward movement.
Appreciation of differences. There is often great diversity in teams. Every aspect — from professional background, ethnicity, working style or preference to generation and world view — can vary widely. Effective teams not only appreciate but also utilise the differences, adapting to and accommodating one another rather than creating conflict. The "broad brush" thinker, for example, works complementarily with the detail-oriented person to ensure that both the "big-picture" view and the "up-close" detailed examination of the project are being monitored for progress. Valuing individual members' differences allows greater sensitivity to idiosyncrasies and capacity to flexibly adapt approaches to suit. Certainly, different viewpoints are expected and encouraged as part of fostering creativity and innovativeness, and comments such as "We tried that and it didn't work" or "What a dumb idea!" are neither allowed nor supported (Briton, 2014; Heathfield, 2016a; University of Waterloo, n.d.; Berteig, 2009).

Steam locomotive number 6 "Helga"
Loviisa-Vesijärvi railway locomotive number 6 was built at Tampere Linen and Iron Industry, later Tampella, work shops in Tampere, Finland in. The locomotive was built in 1906 and it is carrying a manufactures number 141, being the 141th locomotive built by Tampella.
Number 6 was running on revenue traffic for 51 years from 1909 until 19 April, 1960. The locomotive was donated to the museum of town of Loviisa and it was placed as a stationary monument in the centre of Loviisa. Museum Railway Association, who is running and maintaining the Jokioinen Museum railway, was able to negotiate a deal where the locomotive was donated to association. On 23 September, 1982 the locomotive was transported to Minkiö to be stored indoors. Later on the locomotive was painted for the narrow gauge museum exhibition. The town of Loviisa donated the locomotive to Museum railway Association in 1996 and the renovation of the locomotive started in autumn 1996. The renovation was mostly financed by the Ministry of Transportation.
In the renovation the locomotive was rebuilt to her 1920s outfit by painting her black instead of dark green, the valve gear was rebuilt to original, the smoke stack was changed, and the acetylene lamps of the locomotive were rebuilt. At the moment number 6 is the only locomotive in Finland with working acetylene lights.
The renovation was made at Jomeco Oy machine shop in Jokioinen. Final steps of the work were completed in spring and summer 1998. The climax of the renovation project was reached on Saturday 15 August, 1988 when the rebuilt locomotive was loaded on a flat bed truck and transported 10 kms to Minkiö station. At Minkiö the locomotive was pulled on tracks and the next day she was moving under her own power for the first time in 40 years!
Number 6 has been pulling the regular museum trains since spring 1999. The Grand Old lady has been showing to be very reliable and good running locomotive.
Weight (with the tender):
54 500 kg
birch firewood
Capacity of the tender:
Capacity of the boiler:
about 3,3 m3
10 kg/cm2
2-8-0 (4 driving wheel sets, 1 traversing whilst)

'A Bad Moms Christmas': double the moms, half the fun
By Jack Beck '18
Last July, the moms-behaving-badly comedy aptly titled "Bad Moms" hit it big at the box office, crossing the $100 million mark by September. The reviews were mixed and the film's premise wasn't especially innovative, but with the writers of the first Hangover movie (Jon Lucas and Scott Moore) at the helm and a main cast (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn) that clicked beautifully, the movie was extremely successful.
These days, no good high-performing movie goes unpunished by a sequel, so a second installment, "A Bad Moms Christmas," was rushed into production for release barely 17 months later. Lucas and Moore once again return as writers and directors, and the core cast is back including promising new additions, but even the time-tested talent could not save this disastrous film.
A "Bad Moms Christmas" relies on the time-worn Hollywood comedy principle of taking whatever worked in the last movie and doubling it. Accordingly, there are twice as many moms in this movie and twice as many goofy set pieces. But that means it's overstuffed now, and everyone gets short shrift in a story bolstered by stereotypes that seem less winking and more mean the second time around. (The fact that this franchise is written and directed by two men is also starting to feel a little too obvious.)
This film takes place about 18 months after the first one, which brings us to the week before Christmas, a time, as Amy (Kunis) reminds us in voiceover, is very crazy for moms, with the cooking, the parties and the buying of presents.
Amy's divorce has just been finalized; she's still dating dreamy widower dad Jesse (Jay Hernandez). Meek Kiki (Bell) is still running herself ragged with the four young kids, but her husband seems to be pitching in a little more. And Carla (the still-marvelous Hahn) is her same kooky self.
Amy's mom, Ruth (Christine Baranski), is a tightly wound judgment machine who arrives with a towering pile of presents for her grandkids and Amy's father Hank (Peter Gallagher) in tow.
Kiki's mother Sandy (Cheryl Hines) gets in three days early, wearing a T-shirt with Kiki's face on it. She's a bundle of energy, all of which is aimed squarely at being her daughter's shadow.
Then there's Isis (Susan Sarandon), who regularly hitchhikes around the country and lands on Carla's doorstep via the cab of a long-haul truck, only dimly aware that it's Christmas. Carla is hardly a model of parental responsibility, but Isis is a total disaster, having come to town mostly to ask her daughter for money.
There are plenty of "shocking" bawdy jokes, but it's all very familiar. Whereas the sillier plot points of 'Bad Moms' seemed to grow more or less organically from the characters' own evolution, here everything feels vaguely rushed, as if Lucas and Moore were following a checklist of things to squeeze into the studio-mandated 104-minute runtime.
Ultimately, "A Bad Moms Christmas" doesn't treat its characters as anything more than caricatures.
"Bad Moms" was ostensibly a movie about moms who are tired of the rat race of modern (and quite affluent) motherhood and realize they don't need to "have it all" to be happy. The title is a joke: Only by being a bad mom can you be a good mom. And the movie was actually about how female friendship, especially among women with wildly different temperaments and outlooks, brings out the best in people.
"A Bad Moms Christmas" is also ostensibly about moms who are so over it, but what it's supposed to actually be about is how everyone eventually grows up to become their own mother. We can see how Ruth's overbearing parenting, Sandy's hover-parenting and Isis's total lack of parenting have influenced their respective daughters' own child-rearing styles and contributed to their particular neuroses.
That sort of thin characterization can work fine on certain kinds of sitcoms, but not in feature-length movies.

Integrated air and missile defence
Since 2009, Shoal has been at the forefront of the conceptual design of the Australian Defence Force's future air defence capabilities. We initially applied our model-based conceptual design methods to the Army's Counter – Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) sense, warn and locate capability, which has been employed to protect deployed personnel.
Following on from the C-RAM design work, Shoal has further applied our model-based conceptual design capability to the conceptual design of the future tactical air defence systems under project LAND 19 Phase 7B, and the future Joint battle management system and medium-range ground-based air and missile defence system to be delivered under project AIR 6500.
We have also applied our model-based conceptual design methods to support the capability definition and program management of integrated air and missile defence at the Defence Program level, further demonstrating the advantages of a model-based approach in managing highly complex capabilities.

Q: Get name of current user What is a cross-platform way of getting the username of the current user in R? I am currently using
system('whoami', intern=TRUE)

However this assumes that the user has shell access, and that the whoami program is available. Is there a more native to get this information in R?

A: I would do this :
 Sys.getenv("USERNAME")  ## works under windows

or better more robust:
 Sys.info()[["user"]]

But under unix-like system the result is sometimes different of  system('whoami', intern=TRUE) :

whoami outputs the username that the user is working under, whereas
  $USER outputs the username that was used to login.

For example, if the user logged in as John and su into root, whoami displays root and echo
$USER displays John. This is because the su command does not invoke a
login shell by default.

The platinum-based anticancer drug oxaliplatin is important clinically in cancer treatment. However, the role of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) in controlling oxaliplatin membrane transport, in vivo handling, toxicity and therapeutic responses is unclear. In the current study, preparations of MRP2-expressing and control membrane vesicles, containing inside-out orientated vesicles, were used to directly characterise the membrane transport of oxaliplatin-derived platinum measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Oxaliplatin inhibited the ATP-dependent accumulation of the model MRP2 fluorescent probe, 5(6)-carboxy-2,'7'-dichlorofluorescein, in MRP2-expressing membrane vesicles. MRP2-expressing membrane vesicles accumulated up to 19-fold more platinum during their incubation with oxaliplatin and ATP as compared to control membrane vesicles and in the absence of ATP. The rate of ATP-dependent MRP2-mediated active transport of oxaliplatin-derived platinum increased non-linearly with increasing oxaliplatin exposure concentration, approaching a plateau value (Vmax) of 2680 pmol Pt/mg protein/10 minutes (95%CI, 2010 to 3360 pmol Pt/mg protein/10 minutes), with the half-maximal platinum accumulation rate (Km) at an oxaliplatin exposure concentration of 301 μM (95% CI, 163 to 438 μM), in accordance with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (r2 = 0.954). MRP2 inhibitors (myricetin and MK571) reduced the ATP-dependent accumulation of oxaliplatin-derived platinum in MRP2-expressing membrane vesicles in a concentration-dependent manner. To identify whether oxaliplatin, or perhaps a degradation product, was the likely substrate for this active transport, HPLC studies were undertaken showing that oxaliplatin degraded slowly in membrane vesicle incubation buffer containing chloride ions and glutathione, with approximately 95% remaining intact after a 10 minute incubation time and a degradation half-life of 2.24 hours (95%CI, 2.08 to 2.43 hours). In conclusion, MRP2 mediates the ATP-dependent active membrane transport of oxaliplatin-derived platinum. Intact oxaliplatin and its anionic monochloro oxalate ring-opened intermediate appear likely candidates as substrates for MRP2-mediated transport.

Anti-maskers gather in downtown Toronto
Toronto Police reported an anti-mask protest convening at city's Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday afternoon. Dozens of demonstrators could be seen in a photo posted on Twitter by the police service, which said that officers were on the scene but "everyone has the lawful right to peacefully protest and officers will be in the area for the safety of everyone." Over a hundred people gathered at Yonge-Dundas Square Saturday afternoon, many without masks and with little social distancing, calling for an end to the lockdown. A group on Facebook called "The Line" appeared to be the organizers of the event, which they called the "March for Freedom." The protestors then left Yonge-Dundas and proceeded north on Yonge Street. Police are assisting in directing traffic elsewhere to allow for them to pass safely.
Meanwhile, Toronto Public Health says it has ordered the closure of three King Street restaurants that failed to take necessary COVID-19 precautions, including by serving buffet-style food and requiring staff to work while ill. The establishments — named as entertainment-district steakhouse MARBL, Mexican eatery Caza Mezcal, and sprawling craft-beer purveyor King Taps — were shut down on Friday night. A fourth unnamed venue is in the process of being served, according to the City of Toronto.
In an Instagram post last night, MARBL said it would be closed for the weekend due to "unforeseen circumstances." Earlier this summer, the restaurant attracted criticism — and an investigation from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario — when a video appeared to show a crowded indoor party that violated COVID-19 regulations. Last week, a staff member tested positive for the virus, according to CP24.

TTI Awarded Major FHWA Safety R&D Contract
Recognized for its longstanding history of excellence in safety research, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) has been awarded a multiyear, multimillion-dollar contract by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety Research and Development.
The contract, which could provide as much as $50 million in funding over the next five years, supports the FHWA Office of Safety Research and Development in its efforts to determine why traffic crashes occur and better understand what affects the severity of injury outcomes.
"For more than 65 years, TTI has been a leader in the highway safety and highway infrastructure areas through successful implementation of innovative research," says TTI Senior Research Engineer Kay Fitzpatrick, who manages TTI's Roadway Design Program. Fitzpatrick will serve as the project's co-principal investigator along with TTI Senior Research Scientist Sue Chrysler. "For this contract, TTI assembled and will lead a carefully chosen team that offers the best from both the academic and consulting worlds, with the added implementation and outreach capabilities of one of the largest international communities of transportation professionals, the Institute of Transportation Engineers."
The Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), recognized worldwide as a leader in workforce training, is also a team member.
"This is a tremendous award for TTI and Texas A&M University's engineering program," says M. Katherine Banks, vice chancellor and dean of Texas A&M Engineering. "TTI, along with TEEX and other partners, has an opportunity to significantly improve traffic safety for our nation's roadways and save many lives in the process."
More than 168,000 people representing every U.S. state and territory and 82 countries are served annually through TEEX's on-site and online resources for specialties from homeland security to economic development and workforce training.
"This is a great chance for us to partner with TTI," says TEEX Director Gary Sera. "Our mission at TEEX is to make a difference by providing training, developing practical solutions, and saving lives. This award allows us to do just that."
The contract complements another that was awarded last year to TTI from the FHWA Office of Safety for up to $19 million. For the next five years, the Institute is heading up the only university-led team working in conjunction with both these offices to help make the nation's roadways safer.
"TTI is pleased to provide support to both the research and implementation arms of FHWA's safety program. Working with both groups enables us to understand agency priorities and safety goals," says Chrysler. "We will work with the FHWA Office of Safety Research and Development to conduct research to evaluate safety countermeasures and with the FHWA Office of Safety to develop and refine programs for states and other stakeholders to implement those countermeasures."
The FHWA Offices of Safety and Safety Research and Development work together to make highway travel safer by conducting research to develop, evaluate, and employ lifesaving countermeasures; advance the use of scientific methods and data-driven decisions; foster a safety culture; and promote a multidisciplinary approach to safety.
"TTI is recognized around the world as a leader in highway safety research, often pushing the envelope and innovating new technology, methods and hardware to improve highway safety," says TTI Senior Research Engineer Paul Carlson. "TTI's vast array of highway safety experts and its state-of-the-art research facilities — along with other Texas A&M University System partners such as TEEX — provide FHWA with direct access to some of the most experienced transportation researchers in the country and the most advanced research tools available today."
TTI has multiple task orders in process under the Office of Safety contract, ranging from pedestrian and bicycle assessment methodology to performance monitoring of high-friction surfacing treatments. The active task orders also include a technical support project for roadway departure safety and a training development project for safety fundamentals.

Dolphin files for bankruptcy
Image Source: Dolphin Geo
Dolphin Group, a Norway-based seismic acquisition specialist, will today file for bankruptcy after an attempt to restructure the company failed.
Simultaneously with the company filing for bankruptcy, its subsidiary Dolphin Geophysical AS will file a petition for bankruptcy with its relevant court.
Tim Wells, Dolphin Chairman and Atle Jacobsen, CEO, said that the company had to take this step due to the continued deterioration in the oil service market.
In a joint statement, they said: "It is a difficult decision, but in light of the unpredictability of the oil price and subsequent spending cuts of our customers, it has become impossible to have the visibility needed to continue our business. We have worked diligently since 2011 to build Dolphin into a company that would benefit all of our stakeholders- shareholders, lenders, suppliers, customers and our employees. We would like to express our thanks to all who have contributed to Dolphin over the last five years."
To remind, the company last week hinted something like this might happen, saying it might be forced to file for insolvent liquidation if its lenders reject its debt restructuring proposals.
As of September 30, 2015, Dolphin had a total of 434 employees, including subcontractors engaged as part of the seismic crew on its operated vessels. The company has had two rounds of job cuts this year, reducing workforce by 129 positions, citing the lowered client demand for seismic services.
GC Rieber affected as well
Today's news aren't only affecting Dolphin Group and its employees. Norwegian shipowner GC Rieber Shipping has had three vessels on long-term contracts to Dolphin. Responding to Dolphin's bankruptcy filing news today, GC Rieber Shipping said it would immediately start looking at options for employment of its seismic fleet.
"GC Rieber Shipping believes its high quality and efficient vessels will attract interest even in a further consolidated seismic market," the company said.
Also, GC Rieber Shipping's outstanding receivables from Dolphin amount to approximately $20 million.
"GC Rieber Shipping will seek to recover outstanding and future claims and losses from the Estate, but it is uncertain to which extent demands will result in significant coverage," the company added.

Having visited Israel several times, sadly in the PW (pre-wino) days, it's a bit of a treat to write about such an incredible wine from an incredible country that is defiantly 'off the beaten track'… If you've heard of wine, you're likely to have heard of Merlot. It's one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. It's possible that you've tried it as part of a Bordeaux blend such as think St Emilion. And it's likely that you will have come across it in its Chilean form. But what about the Middle East? Have you had a Merlot, or any wine for that matter, from the Eastern Mediterranean coast? No? Well, you're not the only one!
Let us introduce the Clos de Gat vineyards located in the Judean Hills between the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv and historic Jerusalem. The Har'el Merlot is our Wine of the Week and it's rich, full-bodied and velvety in texture. It's had fourteen months in French oak to develop notes of blackberry compote, herbal tones and a hint of vanilla that oozes from the glass. A great example of what Merlot can be.
'Clos' in French refers to an enclosure and 'Gat' in Hebrew means wine press – so it comes as no surprise that the vineyard is built around a 3.000-year-old wine press. The vineyard is owned and run by winemaker Eyal Rotem. who has built Clos de Gat into one of the top wineries in Israel, known for its Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay (soon to arrive at Rude HQ!).
Eyal spent several years in Australia before setting up Clos de Gat, with planting started in 1998 and the first vintage produced in 2001. The winery functions like both French and boutique New World wineries. The grapes are grown, processed, aged and bottled on site. It's quite a feat for the small team.
The vineyard relies on natural wild yeasts to ferment the wine which takes longer but encourages the full flavour of the variety to develop. Clos de Gat also choose not to filter their wines either. This can be a controversial topic in the wine world, therefore another reason to try it! Expect a little sediment with an unfiltered wine so decant before serving – this will also help open up the aromas.
Again, slightly controversially, Clos de Gat vineyards are not Kosher, meaning that a Rabbi has not been present in the production of the wines and as they use wild yeast in their wine production, rather than those prescribed in Jewish law they do not meet Kosher standards. Why not let the taste do the talking? Pay a little more than usual for this Merlot, tasting the story, the history and the quality. Drink it with Mediterranean fares such as spiced lamb, aubergines and olives. You'll really understand the term 'bang for your buck' and it's a perfect way to expand you Merlot repertoire.
Just How Good Can Chilean Sauvignon Blanc Get?
The Wine to Prove France's Best Value Region is Languedoc?

I recently had the opportunity to stay in this incredible beach house. The house itself is just beautiful, but the decor inside is gorgeous! It was spotless, bright and spacious. The house was equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the multiple balconies and rooftop deck. It was so convenient to pack a bag, and walk just footsteps away to the beach. I highly recommend this property and look forward to another visit soon!
So clean and new - we will be back!
Wow! We were so happy with this home. We had two families stay and there was plenty of room for all of us. In fact, one family stayed on the first floor and the other on the middle floor so while we were together we had privacy. The main floor was light, bright and open. We love cooking and really appreciated that all of the tools we needed we there. Most rentals we have been to don't offer as much as we need. Nice to have access to a wine fridge on vacation. The entire home was well kept and very clean, everything is brand new. There is a second living room on the first floor and the kids spent a lot of time there in the evenings while all the parents had their own space upstairs. The neighborhood was perfect for us. We were comfortable letting the kids run around in and outside. They really liked hanging out on the roof deck. And we timed the walk to the beach from the house, for fun, and it was less than two minutes. The beach has a very private feel and not crowded so we played football and frisbee on the beach while watching the surfers. It was a little chilly while we were there so we will definitely come back when we can spend more time at the beach. The house had tons of beach gear for adult and kids, but we didn't get to use much of it. However the shower outside was great for washing off the sand. Over the past few years we have completely shifted away from hotels and now only renting homes. This vacation confirmed we won't be going back to hotels. This house was easy for our entire family and the kids had room to spread out and run around. The kids are already asking to go back.
We stayed in this beautiful home for 4 days in April. The home is located one block from the beach with an incredible view. The home was meticulous and had everything we needed for the time we were there. The rooms were airy and beautifully decorated. The 5 bedrooms were great as everyone had their own room. A wonderful outdoor shower is great when returning from a day at the beach. Our favorite floor was the top one. It is an open concept with a great kitchen, big dining table and sitting area with a tv. We all sat there and never felt crowded as this area is huge. Plus we also sat out on the balcony and enjoyed grilling in the warmth of the sun. They also left brochures and magazines of the area which were most helpful. The area around the home is lovely and it is a short drive and/or walk to the Boardwalk area. This was a great choice and we will be back in the fall.

How many route choices did you see for the long leg on Courses Red 1 and Red 2 (see featured image) today at Cooleman Ridge?
How was your time compared to your friends. Check the splits published on line and compare. Which way did your colleagues go?
Even if you did not have it on your course have a look now and see if you can find at least 3 and maybe 5 or even 6 route choices from number #1 to #2.
Having trouble thinking of different route choices? Well try this quick rule: Look Left, Right and Straight Ahead.
C. Head to #6 and then contour all the way around to about #3 before dropping down to #2. You get a sneak preview of #6 and #3 on the way which might help later.
D. Similar to C but contour higher at about the level of #4. Thicker vegetation, more climb, but a bit shorter.
E. Head towards #6, but continue down and follow easily along the aqueduct. This is a 'wide" route and longer but much easier and quicker. At about #3 you can gently climb to #2. This was the choice of the elites and those who can run fast.
F. Can you see the far-right route all along the track? There is almost no climbing at all (except just near the control). Although it is much longer it could be a good choice too.
So next time you see a Long Leg pause at the control for a few seconds longer and just like the politicians did on Friday ask yourself: Left, Right or Straight Ahead?


(New York) – The Group of Twenty heads of government should call on China to end its relentless crackdown on Chinese activist groups, Human Rights Watch said today in a letter to participating countries. China will host the annual G20 meeting in Hangzhou on September 4-5, 2016.
A G20 summit billboard in Hangzhou, China.
The governments should also protest China's restrictions on civil society group participation in the G20 process.
The Human Rights Watch letter details China's calculated efforts under President Xi Jinping to suppress civil society, including anti-corruption campaigners and labor rights activists, using harassment, prosecution, and restrictive laws such as the Foreign Non-Governmental Organization Management Law, which limits interactions between domestic and foreign organizations. The letter notes abuses of religious freedom of Christians in Hangzhou, and the ways in which Beijing's hostility toward independent voices has compromised the G20 by limiting independent groups' participation in the civil society (C20) and labor (L20) preparatory meetings.
The letter was sent in early August to Argentina, Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Officials in Singapore have pressed 42 charges against a local woman for offenses over the past three years related to two dozen foreign workers.
Poh Kwi Ko, the director of Aik Heng Contracts and Services Pte Ltd, allegedly imported migrant workers illegally and collected kickbacks from them, Lianhe Zaobao (Singapore) reported on Monday.
The woman, aged 42, is alleged to have violated the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act between 2014 and 2016, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Manpower on September 4.
According to a preliminary investigation by the ministry, Poh processed 10 work passes successfully for 10 migrant workers, who were given no employment and allegedly advised to find work by themselves between December 2014 and March 2016.
During that period, the female director allegedly got kickbacks from 19 foreign workers and obtained a total of S$156,000 (US$115,894).
Some 13 charges relate to persuading foreign workers to be self-employed without valid work passes.
The ministry is seeking to bar Poh and a related construction company from employing foreign workers in the future.

A man was killed Thursday by illegally felled timber that he and a couple of accomplices were trying transport out of a Central Highlands national park.
Bui Minh Dan was driving his motorbike too fast when it plunged into a hole at the Yok Don national park in Dak Lak Province, causing the timber to fall and break his neck, local news website VnExpress reported.
Dan was carrying the precious agar wood on his motorbike which has been modified especially for the job.
The 24 year old was stealing the timber with two others Phan Van Quang and Bui Ngoc Lam, who also used similar motorbikes.
Earlier on December 15, a similar fate befell 30-year-old Quang Van Dau in Pu Huong natural reserve in the north-central province of Nghe An, around 291 kilometers south of Hanoi. Pu Huong is part of the Nghe An Western Biosphere Reserve which was recognized as a world biosphere reserve in 2008.
In related news, a man named Nguyen Minh Long in Quang Ngai Province in central Vietnam on Thursday stabbed a forest ranger when local rangers tried to seize more than 10 cubic meters of precious wood they found at his home. The ranger is being treated at local hospital.
Figures cited by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at a conference on December 13 showed that the country loses nearly 32,000 hectares of forest every year, 6.1 percent of which is lost to illegal logging.
In 2011, authorities nationwide discovered 3,145 illegal logging cases and 13,541 illegal timber transportation cases, according to the figures.

Q: summing up overlapping time in sql server 2008 So working on a problem here where I have to get the overlapping time sum from using timestart and timestop columns of 2 different equipments. if line1 started and stop then start and stop and start and stop and all 3 times there is an overlap, then I need to take the very first starttime and the very last stoptime and sum them up. Pictures below my illustrate the idea. Temp1 is a copy of original but without any of the extra details. I just need to do the sum according to the Line 1 or Line2.
Ok so if we give attention to the image with the circled data above, what needs to happen is I need to take the total time from 18:10-18:47 because both 1061 and 1062 overlap each other. So I will have two more colums inner joined into the temp1 that will group the data by Hours and another column that will show the total time the Line was down for.
this is a link to the http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/e33ff/1
I have searched for a solution to this but either the solution is in Oracle or people have used sql-server 2014 to make it easier by using the analytical functions such as Lead(), but i am using server 2008
In my sql fiddle i have added a table 'results' that will give you a glimpse of what should the results look like. The entry in there corresponds to the pkid=1065 and pkid=1066. Please help out or give some hints on how to tackle it.

A: Does it work to partition over the line number and select min and max times?
select
    d.PkID,
    Line,
    d.dateentry,
    TimeStart,
    Timestop,
    Min(TimeStart) over (partition by line) as TimeStartPartition,
    Max(Timestop) over (partition by line) as TimestopPartition,
    e.TimeL1,
    f.TimeL2


it's just Laine: Oh Mr. Caleb...Do you know how much Mommy loves you?
Oh Mr. Caleb...Do you know how much Mommy loves you?
And she still loves you even if you insist that you are a monkey and hang from the banister in last summer's too small sandals. And get your clothes filthy.
Yes, Mommy loves you a whole bunch little man!

, The Star reported on Monday.
"I have learnt to accept that people are doing what they think they need to do. It is elections, and after elections people have to get into positions," she was quoted as saying. On Wednesday, ANC chief whip Stone Sizani accused Madonsela of overstepping her mark with the report. He said Madonsela was obliged to submit her report to Parliament and suggested that by waiting for a presidential response, she was flouting her accountability to the legislature.
Madonsela said in response at the time that she merely followed the law.
She told The Star she forgave the party for the remarks.
"I've forgiven them because I know it's not personal. It's about preservation because he [Sizani] knows the truth."
Her report found that President Jacob Zuma and his family unduly benefited from upgrades to his private Nkandla homestead, in KwaZulu-Natal.

Baltimore Rapper Damond Blue to Take Kids to See Black Panther
Feb 15, 2018 | Arts & Entertainment
Baltimore, MD, February 15, 2018 –(PR.com)– Baltimore rapper Damond Blue, his foundation Beats Not Bullets and Dream Bigger Media Group are buying out three theaters at the Towson Cinemark Theatre in Maryland to allow children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore the opportunity to view Marvel's new movie Black Panther for free on February 20th. The theater buyout encompasses 182 seats and will include popcorn and soda for each child. Blue is excited to provide the opportunity to see this groundbreaking movie to children who may not otherwise have a chance to see it.
"This movie is important because it gives kids from the African-American community a chance to see a superhero movie with a main hero that looks like them," says Damond Blue. "He is a King and not a sidekick. Children from all walks of life can benefit from seeing a positive character of any color."
Blue will also be on hand to speak to the youth about the importance of pride and finding their passion as a way to stay out of trouble. The Boys &Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore share in Damond's joy to bring their kids to the movie.
"BGCMB is so very excited about this awesome opportunity for our kids," said Kenneth R. Darden, President and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore. "The opportunity for our kids to attend this 'Black Panther' movie event is such a wonderful blessing, and especially so since it is happening during "Black History Month. We cannot thank Damond, the Beats Not Bullets Foundation and Dream Bigger Media Group enough for making this special movie event possible for our kids!"
About Beats Not Bullets
Beats Not Bullets, is a Baltimore based music program celebrating its third year of operation. The community focused program endeavors to teach youth the "ins and outs" of the music business and other disciplines. What started as a kernel of an idea from Baltimore native and DBMG recording artist Damond Blue, has grown into a fully staffed operation supported by Dream Bigger Media Group.

Columbia Business School Honor Code and Community Standards
Essential to the mission of Columbia Business School is community-wide adherence to the highest level of ethical and professional conduct. The Columbia Business School Honor Code calls on all members of the School community to uphold the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. This applies both during their time at the School and throughout their careers as productive, moral, and caring participants in their companies and communities around the world.
As the CBS Honor Code states,
As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.
In alignment with the Honor Code, all University faculty, students, and staff are responsible for compliance with the Rules of University Conduct. Copies of the full text are available in Essential Policies for the Columbia Community. Any individual who witnesses a deviation from the expected standards of behavior must report it via Student Conduct and Community Standards (SCCS).
The goal of such reporting is ultimately to educate students about their actions' potential impact on their individual lives and the University community at large.
Reporting and Disciplinary Process
As part of the process of educating students about the potential impacts of their actions on their individual lives and the University community-at-large, Columbia Business School partners with Student Conduct and Community Standards.
SCCS assists the Columbia community with the maintenance of a safe, honest, and responsible campus environment. SCCS may contact students if it is alleged that they have engaged in behavior that is inconsistent with University, affiliated school, or program policies and/or federal, state, or local laws. Students may be referred to the Dean's Discipline process when such an allegation is made.
Students, faculty, and staff may file a report directly to Student Conduct and Community Standards for any incident involving a CBS student.
What is Dean's Discipline?
The Dean's Discipline process is utilized to investigate and respond to allegations of behavioral or academic misconduct. Through this process, SCCS and CBS communicate the expectation that all students act honestly and always respect the rights of others. Dean's Discipline is not meant to be an adversarial or legal process. Through the process, students discuss accountability for their behavior and the impact their behavior may have on their own lives and the greater community.
Disciplinary Charges
Students, faculty members, or Columbia staff with concerns or complaints about a student's behavior should file an incident report. Based on the information available, the Dean of Students, in consultation with SCCS, will determine the appropriate follow-up and may refer the student(s) alleged to have violated the policy to a formal disciplinary hearing. If a formal disciplinary hearing is to be held, a representative from SCCS will contact the student, explain the procedure, and set up an appropriate time and place for the disciplinary hearing.
Dean's Discipline Overview
The following outlines the steps taken in the Dean's Discipline Process. Please refer to Standards and Discipline: Student Conduct and Community Standards for further detail.
Reporting an Allegation of Misconduct
Community members may submit an incident report with SCCS electronically. When a report is received, SCCS will determine whether Dean's Discipline is an appropriate response or if the report should be referred elsewhere.
Determining Alternative Resolution Options
SCCS and CBS officers have the discretion to refer a complaint for mediation or other forms of appropriate alternate resolution. This determination is made at the onset of receiving a report. Any unsuccessful alternate resolution may be forwarded for formal processing and/or a Dean's Discipline hearing. Please visit Alternative Resolution Options for a complete list of available resolutions.
Dean's Discipline: Notice and Scheduling
If a Dean's Discipline hearing is required, notice will be sent via university e-mail to the individual allegedly involved and will list the allegation(s). Dates and times for disciplinary hearings are scheduled by SCCS in consultation with the student's academic schedule to avoid conflict. The student is also informed of the next steps in the process and their ability to review the allegation(s) before the hearing. Students are welcome to meet with a representative from the appropriate degree program office before they meet with SCCS and will be referred to do so.
Dean's Discipline: Preparing for the Hearing
In preparation for the hearing, the student should schedule a file review and prepare a written statement describing their perspective regarding the allegation(s). Students are also encouraged to meet with an Advisor and speak with staff members from Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) or other healthcare and counseling professionals should they need to speak with someone while going through the process. Students will be able to review their file prior to the hearing. The student can also elect to have an advisor from their degree program office (i.e., academic advisor) accompany them to the hearing. These advisors do not advocate for the student, they are there in a supportive role.
Dean's Discipline: The Hearing
The hearing is the opportunity for a student to learn and respond to the available information supporting the allegations. The hearing is facilitated by at least two (2) Hearing Officers: one from SCCS and the second from SCCS, or an administrator or faculty member from the student's respective school.
Dean's Discipline: During the Hearing
The student is presented with the information about the allegation that they have violated policy(ies). The student may then submit their statement and present information on their behalf. Questions may be posed by the student and the Hearing Officers to clarify or understand the allegations and the student's perspective on the context, incident, and/or circumstances. A summary of the hearing will be documented and included in the student's case file for future review.
Dean's Discipline: Determining Responsibility
Following the investigation and hearing, a determination of whether the student is responsible for the violation(s) is rendered. Throughout the Dean's Discipline process, the student is presumed not responsible. The Hearing Officers bear the burden of showing evidence to support a finding of responsibility. The burden is not on the student to prove that they did not engage in misconduct. The standard of proof used to determine outcomes is the "preponderance of the evidence" standard. This standard allows for a finding of responsibility if, at the conclusion of the investigation, the information suggests it is more likely than not that a violation occurred.
Dean's Discipline: Sanctions
If a student is found responsible for a violation of prohibited conduct, sanctions will be issued in consideration of the specific circumstances of the case, institutional precedent, disciplinary history, aggravating and mitigating circumstances, including the student's state of mind (intentional, knowing, bias-motivated, reckless, negligent, etc.), and/or community impact.
An appeal process can be initiated due to three circumstances 1) Procedural Error 2) New Information 3) Inappropriate Sanction. All academic cases and appeals for cases that result in separation from the University will be heard by the Dean of Columbia Business School. Behavioral violation appeals can be heard by the Dean of Students if they are not a hearing committee member.
Records and Disclosure
The information compiled as part of a review of allegations of misconduct is part of a student's educational record and is maintained by SCCS. This file generally contains a description of the alleged violation, supporting documentation, written statements, and official case-related correspondence. Disciplinary proceedings conducted by the University are subject to the Family Educational Records and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), a federal law governing the privacy of student information. FERPA generally limits the disclosure of student information outside the University without the student's consent. Still, it does provide for the release of student disciplinary information without a student's consent in certain circumstances. Please refer to the Records and Disclosure section of Standards and Discipline: Student Conduct and Community Standards for more information.
Informal Complaints Concerning Misconduct
Any instructor, officer, staff member, or student who chooses not to put a complaint in writing can instead make an informal complaint. In these cases, the Associate Dean for Students Affairs usually discusses the matter with the student. In these situations, the student will receive a formal warning, which will be noted in the student's educational file and any recommendations made to the student. Such warnings will be considered if and when similar complaints are made in the future, and a pattern of informal complaints may lead to formal disciplinary action.
More information can be found on the Student Conduct and Community Standards Office website.
